Merry Christmas!

Danlo, you rule for using a Joyeux Noel picture!

Well SBG was kind enough to post in this thread, and I knew Lore would like the image. But SBG said

and try not to make anyone else miserable

I wasn't trying I was just pointing out that while we count our blessings and gather loved ones around us that not everyone is so lucky. To me the holiday season, in general, is about having the guts to actually open our mouths and talk to strangers, and to remember and reach out to those not as fortunate as us.

It wasn't my intent to raise hackles, but I guess it did with Wayfriend reviving another thread. Sorry, it was supposed to be part of a much larger encompassing theme (and I'm sorry I blew up the tread, but actually I'm not). It wasn't meant to be political or anti-war (but if you talked to the guy who's birth we're supposedly celebrating I don't think he'd exactly be happy about things...) so enjoy, but think for a minute at least, and don't be miserable!

Merry Christmas

Excellent thoughts, danlo, and very true! Christmas time means peace and thinking about those less fortunate? Who knew?

Happy Christmas everyone. Stay safe. Stay sound. Stay warm. Stay around.

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Peace on earth, good will to men!

And in despair, I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth", I said,
"For hate is strong
and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!"
Peace on earth, good will to men!

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men!"
Peace on earth, good will to men!

Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Peace on earth, good will to men!

For those who observe,
sung in counterpoint to "Silent Night."

'Neath the silent stars
a child is sleeping.
Flocks are safe within the fold,
secure from danger, want, or cold.

Si-lent
Si-i-lent Ni-i-ight
Ho-ly
Ho-oh-ly Ni-i-ight

Slee-eep in peace
Slee-eep in heavenly peace
...in peace.

Very good comment, danlo.

Christmas peace is not everywhere, not even in our surroundings

But I wish it to you all peace and a good time
Happy Christmas
Bonne fête
